Do Screenwriters Need 'Personal-Connection' with Stories they Write?

Is Explaining Art Ever a Good Thing?

One question that has become popular for executives to ask screenwriters is, 'what is your personal connection to the material?'.

In this episode I talk about why that question is wrong and should be avoided.
